The Great Ballroom
No surprise Lady Ottoline Morrell's family home WELBECK ABBEY came in 1ST Place for the BEST SECRET TUNNEL. They describe the tunnel as: more than one and a half miles of tunnels, complete with skylights and wide enough in some places for two carriages to pass. Its also has an underground great hall, used a s Ballroom, and five rooms designed to house a Library. Crikey.
WELBECK
As an Attingham student, my class visited Welbeck in 1991 when it was still family occupied and not open to the public. We saw a bit of tunnel but the grounds were being used by a branch of the military, so no wandering about was allowed.

John I do thank you for commenting at my quirky Ottoline Divine. I would love to see Welbeck.
